George Cybenko

George Cybenko is the Dorothy and Walter Gramm Professor of Engineering at Dartmouth and a fellow of the IEEE.[1]

Education

Cybenko obtained his BA in mathematics from the University of Toronto and received his PhD from Princeton in applied mathematics of electrical and computer engineering in 1978.

Work

Cybenko has served as an advisor for the Defense Science Board and several other government panels and is the founding editor-in-chief of the IEEE Security & Privacy magazine. His current research interests are distributed information, control systems, and signal processing, with a focus on applications to security and infrastructure protection. He is known for proving the universal approximation theorem for artificial neural networks with sigmoid activation functions.[2]

gollark: The trendy™ way to do this would be a web API or something, not sharing the same accursedly PHPological database servers.
gollark: I have the layout exactly as I want it, *except* that when the thing is wrapped onto the next line it is centered. It should not be, and it troubles me.
gollark: Have you tried not doing that? Unrelatedly, I should work on my CSS.
